 ## Saving Opt-In Status on a Settings Page
 When implementing the library, settings should be available for site administrators to change their opt-in status at any time. The value passed to `set_status()` should be a boolean.
 
+When a user want's to opt in, call the `Opt_In_Subscriber::opt_in` method instead of `Status::set_status` to ensure that the site is registered with the telemetry server.
